Mafia: general discussions.

Too narrow a point of view. If you base your opinion on this, then there are very few true Mafia players on this forum.

Of course, because people don't play here for the sake of the game, not to master the mechanics, and not even for the sake of winning.

But in general, even if we focus specifically on Mafia, I think many people understand who is who
